Let’s focus on uniting Zanu-PF, shun factionalism – says Mnangagwa to Politburo
By Staff Reporter
PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa has implored party members to desist from divisive activities or following the narratives being peddled by unruly elements within the Zanu-PF party.
The calls come shortly after a series of events which have seen a section of war veterans publicly criticizing Mnangagwa’s administration and calling for his resignation over rising hardships.
“Meanwhile, unfortunate and misplaced narratives that seek to distort facts, stoke division and discord should never be given a footing in our body politic. True cadres of the party are clear on the correct line of our revolution, our party history, our values and our traditions.
“Do not be clouded or led by wolves in sheep’s clothing abusing our rich liberation heritage for their own divisive ends. Loyal Zanu PF members by day and ZANU PF by night not merely when its convenient but you must remain loyal day or night. Sleep or awake, not when it is convenient,” he said.
Mnangagwa stressed that at no time should the party’s leadership question fellow cadres about their sense of commitment, duty and loyalty highlighting that any efforts of this nature must never find space the party and progressive political culture.
He said fellow members must expose and reject those with tendencies of political grandstanding, including their accessories.
“Over and above this, defending our Party and promoting its ideals remains a moral imperative and a practical necessity. All structures of the Party must, therefore, be vigilant and stand firm in safeguarding our revolutionary foregrounding.
“This is more so given that the neo-colonial agenda is focusing on corrupting as well as consuming the minds and hearts of our people,” he added.
